[QUOTE="Grand, post: 215880, member: 6501"] My rear power window kaput. Went to Optimum at Kg Sg Kayu Ara to change. While there, the radiator leak. 'Fortunately' it leak at the workshop, if happen at the highway, would have to incur additional tow truck charges, not to mention the risk of overheating and permanently damaging your engine and gasket. Well, time for me to share my bill for the benefit of all. Here are my list:- 1. Radiotar + installation RM850 2. Coolant RM 29 3. Water Pump O-Ring RM 21.50 4. Thermostat O-Ring RM 11 5. Thermostat Profile Gasket RM 20 6. Water Pump Pulley RM156 7. Labour charges to fix power window RM 65 8. 2nd hand rear power window RM400 9. Crankshaft timing sensor RM350 I have checked previous list posted and found that they have charged me quite high for the water pump pulley (see posting by AzwanB where his pulley only costs RM110). But the workmanship of Jason (the boss), Andrew and his men at Optimum are great. No complaint. Was told that original BM radiator normally only last about 5 years. The replacement radiator about 3 years:eek: So better be extra vigilant on your coolant level and be careful when its level starts to drop slowly. [/QUOTE]
